shelves following years of complaints that dogs are dying after eating them. >> i think it's criminal. really. >> reporter: complaints to the fda date back to 2007. but the agency says it can't recall the chinese-made products because it can't identify the specific toxin that's killing the dogs. recent tests by the new york department of agriculture, however, did identify something in the treats that the fda missed, poultry antibiotics, not approved for use in the u.s. while the fda tells us it's unlikely that is what's killing the dogs, the findings are enough of a legal loophole to prompt a temporary recall by two manufacturers, nestle's purina wagon train and another. del monte says it's not currently manufacturing in china. but purina wouldn't confirm that. >> poisons and toxins. >> reporter: they are not the only brands cited in complaints to the fda. nearly 1,000 cases of illness
